Any 0.14 plans?

If you post a screenshot of the F4 window someone might be able to help you.

Oh thank god for this necro. This thread is great.

I had a crash a few days ago that might be related to this.

I was playing with the "Other" settings and an autosave ticked on. The server crashed but the clients saw that they were dropped.
No log because it was a few days ago.

Hey @Kolan.

Is this message displayed when the client can't keep up with the server's tick rate (well after the async download/catch-up phase) or does the client timeout while in the catch-up phase of the async download process?

Haven't tested on latest versions but didn't see anything about it in the patch notes. As per https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=25615&start=10#p163441 , using production modules in a furnace to build both copper and iron can result in free resources. Example from link: 4 iron o...

Is it possible to map this "Only one map", 2^32, if I keep on going in one direction, what kind of computer hardware would best support such a quest the longest? Something with a lot of RAM and a fast CPU to generate map. Seems like a nice first mod to make. It would be useful for looking...

Have you tried embedding creds in the curl string?

I doubt it would work because the devs would have to code for it but something like the below is common.

So a little bit more on this that I've found in my games. The achievements panel shows the maximum output that has been reached and the tracking (pinned) panels show the current output. I'm not sure if this is really a bug but it could be communicated more clearly with a "Current:" being a...

Robots are dispatched at a maximum of 3 per tick in a cyclic loop over all ghosts. If you don't have enough robots it slows to a max of 1 per tick. So I know it's not a bug but is there a way that I can increase these numbers? There's that awesome "threads" slider in the options and these...

Probably the most interesting Friday Fact yet.

I especially like the flow charts.

Question: What will happen if the newly-connected client can't finish the "catch-up" phase;
Tick rate decrease or disconnect or something else (maybe even undecided)?

The devs could probably fix this by sending Mod ID's and version numbers instead of full mod names. They could then binary compress the data part of the packet (maybe with some pre-shared AVL tree embedded into each game version) to amplify the savings. There would still be a limit but it might be m...

While it's not a bug, I see very little reason to not require 80 instances over 7.5s instead of 40x2 instances over 15s.

It's fairly confusing.

Test your packet loss to the server. I have a friend that occasionally has 1~5% packet loss and Factorio doesn't handle it well at all. 0% is flawless but game is completely unplayable at 1%. Just do like a "ping ip.add.re.ss -n 1000" and wait about 17mins (assuming the server responds to ...

There's something like this that's a known Windows 10 bug. Does it appear like a triangle forms for a frame or two going from the top-left to the center of your screen? If yes, the Windows 10 bug is related to using V-Sync (in a completely normal way). It's been around since preview 14342 and it's s...

Thanks daniel34 for the link. That paragraph is actually why I posted this bug report initially (so that the devs would be aware of it's existence while they fixed bugs in the surrounding code during the multiplayer-backend overhaul). The devs at least acknowledged this bug and I have confidence tha...

To get back to the original issue, the person with all the packet loss, how are they connecting to the Internet? If it is through any sort of wireless connection, try a wired one. It's wired on a gigabit connection to the modem. It's just a really bad modem that can only handle about a thousand pac...

Could be a mod cause the value exists: https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Lua/Force#research_progress I'm pretty sure this value is the progress of the current research item (like the progress of Automation 1).
